Why "Bias" ruins the essence of reality shows!

Thought this deserves a separate topic! ... So posting my thoughts here!

Bias and narrative play a huge role in swaying the audience! When a culprit isn't reprimanded every WKV while victims get painted as the culprit Ofc there will be a section, not aware of how reality shows function, to see Sid in the positive light!

I'll give you an example of my aunt. She favors Sid. And you know what her answer was when I questioned about his violent outbursts - "Poking" ...

We have seen how this season "poking" has been given a huge narrative as the base of violence, but only when it concerns to hide Sid's negatives. Sid's poking doesn't get highlighted AT ALL instead it's Asim or Pahira (before he was a shukli) at fault for fighting with him! ...... This biased one sided narrative is used to sway our regular day to day audience who aren't on SM and who don't care what goes behind the scenes. This tilts majority to favor Sid who is always gets whitewashed every WKV. One week neglecting his faults, sure understandable. But when consistently it is done, part of our audience start to believe in Salman and BB's narrative how saintly Sid is! This is all done through micromanaging the BIAS!

Yes, there are also people like me and others who can see right through such bias, are active on SM and know how reality shows function. But not every one follows our suit esp the older generation who only follow the show Mon through Sun!

Plus PR work which also majorly spreads dirt on others through media while hyping Sid's macho, one man army, hero image, which is far from reality! Again PR and media play a huge to sway those who follow news and such without knowing ins and outs of what's happening behind the curtains!

This is how "fans" are gathered for a favored contestant.

Now I won't say Sid doesn't have genuine fans who like him for what he is. I mean I was one of them growing up on his show. Fans are fans. When you have followed someone for years they will justify everything under the Sun for their favorites!

But his real image on BB was enough for me to put a STOP on my liking. My sanity and conscience don't allow me to hail a narcissistic bully like himself. But many aren't like me. For whatever reason many don't want to accept Sid isn't the hail Mary Joseph they thought he was. Hence they continue to support him and justify by hook or crook how others are worse than him but not him. It's a defence mechanism!

There is also a section in India who loves to hail toxic masculinity and many live vicariously through him!

So overall speaking, Ofc he's got the fan following no doubts. But that fan following also has a section induced through his PR and another section swayed heavily through BIASED narrative of BB!

So I disagree to a great extent that his win means he's the most loved! That is nothing but a hogwash thanks to the bias reflected last many months of BB!

As for the winner, most likely it'll be Sid. But I truly hope there are more people like us who have seen through Sid's reality without succumbing to media and BB's bias! It'll be one hell of a miracle to see a winner who isn't babied till the finale to lift the trophy! ⭐️

Truth finally comes out and it did when Shukla admitted to using PR support. If at all he wins, he would be remembered as the most dishonest and undeserving winner of all time especially since a large chunk of his support base is brought and not built on his own merit. The other contestants are up against someone who has the channel and TV mafia's backing along with a whole lot of money power...it was always an uneven battle to begin with. Asim and Rashmi gave a tough fight till the end and they are all the reasons to be proud of their journey...

I am waiting for people to say Asim used PR too... so let me asnwer even before people do. Shukla & Asim's financial standing is not equal, Asim is a newbie Shukla is a star.

Me and my husband watch the show together and some seasons we had different favorites and different views even though we are very like minded. This season our views are very similar and it took us only 2 WKVs to call out on the bias. It is so evident that anyone denying is lying. The bias ruined the excitement for weekend episodes, tasks, nominations and evictions - pretty much most of BB. If it wasn't for Asim and Rashmi standing up against all odds, I would have given up long back.

leken Shukla ke fans bolte hain woh real hai isliye main bhi Shukla ko support kar raha tha, ab aapka post padhane ke baad main tora confused ho gaya hoon. 😳

toh mera sawal yeh hai, kya mujhe shukla ko support karana chaahie ya nahin? 😆

Siddharth Shukla's fav excuse is that he was reacting. Is it reacting when he goes and stands an inch from someone's face with his cigarette smoke mouth. N then the other person has to move from his place or back off cos ofcourse the bully won't let you breathe fresh air.

Anyways doubt Shukla's career will take off after BB. No sane big director will work with him. Whatever he will get is Colors and Sharma ji's meherbani.

My hope is that people like your aunt, who based her liking solely on the forced BB narrative of shukla reacting coz he was 'poked' are watching the show casually and r not bothered to vote.

Also it's been evident from the beginning that shukla has a huge PR machinery working overtime and am not surprised as Shukla though not very self aware, must at least be aware that he's aggressive and has no control over himself. So undoubtedly his PR must be prepared to do a lot of bogus voting. But Asim has managed to garner huge fan following and they did a massive record trend of 15M tweets which caught the eyeballs of even international celebs. I don't see Sid fans/ PRs even attempting to reach that level, coz I guess it would be too expensive.

So in the finale it'll all be Sid Fans+PR vs Asim fans. And IMO Asim will win.

Reality shows are not always real. Makers create a narrative & guides audiece in that direction. India has about 43% people educated, so more than galf of watchers are not smart enough to understand the tricks.

@BOLD Hi. Sorry to interuppt but i got this info from NDTV.com that India's literacy rate is 69.1 % (including both urban and rural areas). Was just curious to find this out. Pardon me if i am wrong 😄

He was completely rattled today after Rajat kind of "dhobi pachad" him for the first time in BB house! Did you see him pacing around worriedly discussing with Aarti "how others will view him after BB"! 😆 ..... Ab aaya Bully pahad ke niche! What did he think people will do, aarti utaro him bullying everyone in the house?! ... What a self absorbed moron!

I was glad to see he at least "cares" about his so called image! I am sure he won't be able to sleep for months seeing the hate he has generated all around thanks to showcasing his real self on NTv! .. No where to hide any longer. If not ALL, there will be MANY women and even men who'll stay far far away from this MCP! .. Like I said yesterday one less toxic masculinity in the hiding! 🥳
